Ratio of male to female boesemani

0

What would you all recommend as the ideal ratio of males/females for boesemani rainbows? Now that my six have settled in and colored up, I have two males and four females. I would like to switch out some females for more males but not if its going to cause fighting. What do you all think? Thanks!!

I would keep the females because they will encourage the males to display their best color's. Get at least one more male. Heres a video you might enjoy.

Sounds kind of like the line from the old Jan and Dean song " two girls for every guy".

Ok thanks you two. I think at this point we have decided to just let them be, and keep what we have. I certainly don't want to cause any fighting or overcrowding as they get bigger - which I am looking forward to! Right now they seem to be doing well - in the mornings the boys get all puffed up and flashy, flirt with their girls and chase each other off, but nothing aggressive.
